warm october

for the first time since they started recording the weather in Geneva (1818), the chestnut trees are out in bloom in town. which generally means spring is on the way... except, as we all know, it really isn't. so technically, this really isn't good.

but the weather has been really lovely this week, and today i spent a lot of time just enjoying it. before lunch, was sitting in a park overlooking the mountains, watching the leaves fall on the ground whilst enjoying the sun. then i went for my usual walk. i found a place to sit, closed my eyes and just listened to the sounds around me, the leaves, the birds, the breeze... it was divine!
